Vested rights refer to certain legal rights or privileges that a person or entity has acquired and legally possesses. These rights have been earned or gained over time, often through fulfilling specific requirements or meeting certain conditions. Once rights are vested, they cannot usually be taken away or revoked without due process or the consent of the holder. In simpler terms,
vested rights are like rewards or benefits that have been rightfully earned and can't be easily taken back.
